These guys still aren't close to good enough to get a podium at nationals in xc, but multiple guys can contend in track, including Balazs, Burns, and Birnbaum. It's been slow going for Jerry, multiple wasted years, but he's slowly getting them there with massive built-in advantages in recruiting and NIL funds.
That’s your opinion. It’s pretty much a wrong opinion on all fronts, but hey, you get equal time to spout your Duck hatred.
The Ducks are close enough to contend for a podium at Nationals. Watch their rankings in any of the main three sources and you will see that they will be in the conversation.
It has been slow going? How many coaches go from zero conference titles for 17 years to winning one in their fourth year? They look to be set up for a decent run, too with Juan Gonzalez and the kid from Iowa coming in.
When you begrudgingly admit to their success, you blanket it with the inference that they have bought their way there with NIL money. You have no effing idea. They sure aren’t going out buying a bunch of foreign talent (like the top three ranked teams that you don’t mention).
so you have your opinion, but the facts say otherwise. Maybe get yours straight for your next narrative of the misguided and utterly biased.
